Destin Seafood Festival Set for September 26–28 🦀
The Destin Seafood Festival is free to attend, with more than 100 vendors serving fresh Gulf seafood, drinks, local art, and live entertainment along the Harbor Boardwalk.
This year’s festival runs September 26–28, 2025, filling over a mile of waterfront with food, music, shopping, and family activities. Festival hours are Friday, 4–10 PM; Saturday, 10 AM–10 PM; and Sunday, 10 AM–6 PM. Guests can explore the Kids’ Zone, browse local goods, and watch fireworks over the harbor on Saturday night.
For those looking for an upgrade, the ticketed Local Seafood Experience features tastings from area chefs, private seating, bar access, and Sunday’s Oyster Shuck-Off with Stalekracker.
Founded in 1978, the event is the main fundraiser for the Destin Charter Boat Association and also serves as the kickoff to the month-long Destin Fishing Rodeo.
Will you be heading to Destin for the festival this year?
